Watch: No football team has been welcomed back home like Iceland was after Euro 2016
The tiny nation turned out in the thousands to greet their heroes.
France may have ended Iceland's spectacular run at the quarter-final stage with a decisive 5-2 victory but that didn't douse their fans' spirits one bit. The team returned to their capital Reykjavik to a spectacular reception.
There was jubilation in the air as the team went on a rooftop parade through the streets cheered on by thousands of fans, delighted with the way the players have defied expectations in their first ever global tournament.
